Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Art Hey Dude, could you help with material about Charter Schools? I need a concise, clear, basic working understanding of them. ____________________________________________________ Charter schools are public schools. They recieve permission to operate, their "charter," from their states. They are free from some, but not all, of the bureaucratic folderol that accompanies traditional public schools. In exchange for increased freedom to innovate, Charter schools are supposed to be monitored by state and local boards of education. Charters are supposed to be renewed only for schools that are producing the desired results. Charter schools are subject to the requirements of NCLB.
